it will be easy to identify the accounts that vote but, don't grow as autovoters and, not active in other ways.

To tell you from experience of when I was trying to identify and eradicate the bots when they first arrived, I'll tell you that the dedicated bunch will consolidate (and they're all whales anyway), so identifying the bad actors is extremely difficult. Not to mention the amount of legitimate people who are using voting bots.. as well as the bad actors who are using voting bots.. and they're all augmenting their earnings with garbage posts. There isn't enough active curation to find all of the junk.

If someone were to build an AI to monitor real posts and real users who provide real responses to their commenters, I bet that we could eradicate most of the bots and spammers and scammers. Many will still remain though.

Until then, we're going to be stuck in a perpetual cycle of the bots and bad actors winning because the whales who are trying so hard to continue augmenting their income with their 100 different bot/alt/promotion/bot-using accounts look so similar to those who are real people. It's effectively talking about trying to fight the people who own the majority share and who run the voting bots and who have the most to lose if Steemit became the platform that it was meant to be. It's a catch 22. Lose all of the whales because you've made it so hard for them to earn "easy money", or let the vicious cycle of corruption continue and lose the opportunity to grow. Because let's be honest.. Steemit is falling apart and it isn't pretty.

Call me cynical, but with the amount of effort that I personally invested in trying to identify scammers and spammers (at a low success rate) while leveraging my extensive professional experience in performing exploratory data analysis for fraud and abuse (and being quite successful in those endeavors), I don't see anything good coming out of HF20 for the little guys...
